Last Notes npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…3d77 Yeah, but there's a non-zero chance Jerry will get sick of our shit and retire to focus exclusively on flower pics. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…4xpq @nprofile…sc6l @nprofile…zz66 Honestly, I couldn't even fairly evaluate that pabulum for bias.

It can be disabled. You don't need https://privacy.sexy or any third-party tools to disable it, but it's tucked deep in the Settings app. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…fle4 In a rocky bit of California, there's a lizard wearing an eyepatch grinning. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…wjfe "Charlie Kirk, previously a vocal supporter of guns and gun deaths, was not available for comment." npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…r0kn Yeah, helium is hard to contain too. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…tvh9 On one hand, nobody should be using AI slop. On the other hand, the quality of the advertising matches the quality of the product. On the other other hand, this is the most entertained I've been by McAfee in decades. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…ktud That's a great call-out. It dovetails into one of the key things I keep hammering: Design and document everything on the assumption it will be critical for a 3am outage. Everything should help make things as clear as possible when you're both panic and half-asleep. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…r0kn Given how successful the campaign has been reminding people that the fediverse exists (and resulted in "wtf who reset my pw?" toots), maybe this should be an annual thing npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…gu7x Yeah, unions and strikes were the compromise.

Love how they're hiding relevant and germane comments calling The Goog out on their poor stewardship and active efforts to strangle XSLT as "off-topic". npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…skc4 @nprofile…dceh @nprofile…r0kn Looking forward to reading my AI's summary of all 256 episodes. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…85tn Yup, it's a vanity award scam. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…fle4 THIS IS SO INSIGHTFUL AND FROM SUCH AN INTELLIGENT AND ATTRACTIVE INDIVIDUAL!

At least according to one alien. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…36ma That or it just needs to squeeze by you to grab that yoghurt. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…cl5w Pizza-based face-insertion activities are rarely a bad idea. Except for lactose-intolerant folks. And then there's fake cheese to help. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…cgs9 It's like that song from "The Little Mermaid", except it's a whole new world where everything is on fire and wants to kill you. ...did your assembler reach Australia? npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…36ma Can confirm: Am in New York, and it hasn't been 7:14 pm for at least five hours. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…36ma You forgot the better, third option: Convince all the plastic makers to switch exclusively to biodegradable, non-toxic formulas. A year ago. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…xt5t Thanks for the reminder that @nprofile…dqwn is ending services.

And nobody gives a shit about the metaverse. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…5lc3 I'm dealing with a coworker who is just uncritically copying and pasting from CoPilot or Gemini or something. They're not checking to make sure the commands and options-flags actually exist, and don't understand why I'm getting frustrated with them. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…4dwe Conversely, now I kinda want to replay Bioshock because the idea of beating a smug rich prick to death with a golf club sounds pretty cathartic right now. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…7klc Honestly, WiFi 6/7 mesh is really good now. I've got gigabit fiber, and my office is meshed to my basement with some Asus ZenWifi AX units. Normal throughput is 600-700 Mbps. At some point I'll run ethernet 🤷♂️ npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…skc4 Dogs is good people. And dogs make people gooder, too. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…d82u I grabbed a couple of refurb mini PCs off Amazon/Woot to build a home lab. But my electricity is real cheap, so I have less concern about efficiency. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…gu7x And that's still more respect than he deserves. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…4dwe Maybe I should indulge in some escapism, watch a Star War. [phantom menace crawl starts] OH GODS DAMNIT npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…fle4 Yeah, and eggs are way too expensive right now. Even the rotten ones. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…fle4 The only reason to attend that would be to loudly walk out as soon as she says something fascist. (The over-under is six minutes) npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…r0kn @nprofile…u3tn @nprofile…5lc3 Oh yes, I can agree with that whole-heartedly. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…r0kn @nprofile…u3tn @nprofile…5lc3 Given what it generally takes to become corporate/executive leadership, I think that 80/20 ratio is optimistic. But the assholes are always the loudest. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander The difference between "I don't know how to do that" and "I don't know how to do that yet" is so important. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…cl5w @nprofile…7mte I grabbed a couple of these GL-A1300s for a travel router and second, 2.4ghz-only IOT wifi network (both running OpenWRT), and they're fine. Acceptably decent build quality, USB-C power. No regrets on the purchases. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…dceh @nprofile…skc4 You have to take on a Papal Name when you get white smoked, so I think the options standing would be Pope Tailor, Pope Soldier, or Pope Spy. P sure "POPE SOLDIER" was a McFarlane comic in the 90s though. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…a0g8 Normally you have to go to an iMax to get that kind of projection. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…d9tn Every accusation a confession. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…r0kn Something good? npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…d2rl It could be worse. I dunno how. But I'm sure we'll figure it out. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…r0kn @nprofile…97xp Two words: Tesla. Futures.

It won't maximize the price you get, but if it's something you're dreading/struggling to do it's okay to trade some dollars for time/stress. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…r0kn It's like Sam's Club and 7-11 had a lovechild raised in a circus. The barbecue's acceptable, though. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…skc4 Librarians are (generally) some of the best people. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…r0kn Hello i love him Also EJSUS THAT TAIL. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander Is today #FediHire Friday? Sure looks like it! What I'm looking for: A senior level, individual contributor role supporting Windows, Active Directory, Certificates, PKI, Azure, and information security in a large environment. Interested in relocating outside of the US. I like to solve weird problems and make computers run smoothly. I want to help others use technology effectively. My main focus the last few years has been rebuilding and modernizing a struggling certificate management team. That includes growing the team to meet our company needs, migrating our AD-integrated private PKI stack, getting a handle on our web PKI consumption, and making massive improvements to our certificate lifecycle management platform. I supported and advised our CyberSec and Desktop teams as we rolled out multi-factor authentication to 50,000 employees and contractors across the US. My background in understanding deep computer fundamentals, talent for quickly grasping nuances of larger systems, and calmness in a crisis have contributed to quickly resolving major technology outages regardless of root cause. This role hasn't been exclusively technical. A big part of my current job is building relationships with our developers to help them understand how certificates work, the responsible ways to use them, and what our relevant internal policies are. I've been training and teaching junior and mid-level engineers both practical PKI concepts and our specific enterprise requirements. I've gotten to spend some time with upper management to both explain the immediate challenges we've had and the plans we can implement improve our infrastructure, reducing costs and outages. While this position has been focused on certs and how to use them, I'm very comfortable considering a technical leadership role for Windows (server and desktop) administration and Active Directory. I also have some good experience with Azure and virtualization platforms, but they haven't been my daily focus for several years. My current employer is direct retail for general public consumers. I've also worked in banking/finance, manufacturing, and architecture firms. The common thread is I love to help people leverage technology for their goals, to help them be more effective. In my personnel/volunteer time I've done very similar: working backstage with lights/sounds/projections so live performers can do their best. Right now I'm in Syracuse, New York (about five hours from NYC), but I'm open to relocation/migration anywhere in the world. PMs open if you want to talk details. Boosts/reshares appreciated. #Job #GetFediHired #ITJobs #Windows #ActiveDirectory #Certificate #PKI #Azure #Migration #CyberSecurity #InfoSecurity npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…args @nprofile…xs7l Yea, as others have mentioned they've got "Blockchain Capital" in a recent funding round. "Blockchain Capital", because I guess "Arsenic and Dogshit" was already taken? Between that, some serious, concerning errors on trust & safety moderation for some trans users, and protecting some b-list fascist celebrity, I don't trust Bsky long-term. I've largely stopped posting new things there. I do still read & reply, and occasionally remind folks that the fediverse is still here and getting better. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…xxx6 @nprofile…fj02 Yeah.

Nobody thought that his dumbass tariffs would happen, but everyone with "power" is afraid to actually stop him. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…fv4z I've got a 16 and I love it.

Now even on Windows it still requires a PSN account? Ask Helldivers how well THAT went over. Looks like that PSN account requirement also gets it "Unsupported" on Steam Deck, even if the single player works well. The bigger challenge for me is I mentally categorized it as a Soulsborne, which I just fundamentally don't enjoy. It sounds like that's not right, though? Also doesn't help that they're still asking $50 during the Steam Winter Sale. It sounds really interesting, and I'm definitely going to take a second look at it. But it's easy to understand why it's under the radar for so many folks. "Starting from zero" would be an improvement at this point. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…z22s I made it all the way this year. I was really afraid one of our daily meetings that starts with some music while people trickle in would get me, but I dodged any instances that would have tagged me out. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…z22s It's just a specially-prepared milk salad. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…z22s I feel like the first recorded instance of feline communication will be something like "Fuck off, pig.

I'll handle this." npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…z22s They're all carefully chosen, but I think absolute top favoritest is still the Gamemaster's Union https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/113/695/815/528/678/815/original/0da6d9ed62510900.jpg npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…fle4 The good news is they offer free shipping or curbside pickup. I assume if you're buying a $1,900,000 four-wheeled piece of braggary, it's curbside pickup for one of your employees. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…z22s @nprofile…ku7z Tangential to that amazing story, it takes instances like that to remind me that there are people who don't instinctively read every major bit of text around them. I suspect that subconscious text... ingestion? cataloging? is one of the ways to really understand/succeed in technology. Or maybe it's just the ADHD/autism. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…cgs9 That's rich coming from a war criminal of text input. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…5k2y Yea, I'm honestly thinking about picking up an early/mid-90s sedan for exactly that reason. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…d2rl My siblings in Satan, I have enough trouble getting my networking team to administrate ONE vendor of firewalls. The difficulty curve is obviously exponential, and that'll mean it's FIVE times as hard! npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…d2rl The idea of having multiple firewalls for my networking compadres to (mis)manage does make me violently angry. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…fle4 "That just means I'm telling more toasters to go fuck themselves, then." npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…skc4 The only thing Wall Street cares about is if your blood ACTUALLY stains the investor reports. Then they'd just ask for a fresh copy. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…cl5w Shocked pikachu meme that also somehow costs $1200 an hour. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @nprofile…fle4 I've got a 16, and it's fine. I've used worse laptop keyboards, and I've used better. It's perfectly functionable, but if I'm somewhere with a real desk, I'm going to use a real keyboard. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander Just found a silver Zoom75 keyboard I ordered (and received) last year and completely forgot about, so I guess I know what I'm building next week. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @npub15tv…p4uz Libraries generally are the best of society. Lending out tools, rarely-used cooking utensils, and so many other random things is just awesome. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @npub1w9a…04m0 Huh, I didn't notice any slowness/issues with Bazzite in Big Picture Mode on my ROG Ally, but I haven't done a ton of stress-testing on it. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @npub1qu5…qel2 Next month's invoice: "Reviewed all source code provided by client for security issues: $Texas" npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @npub1qu5…qel2 Oh, I agree. IRC was ascii-based misery. Which makes how much worse Slack and Discord are all the more impressive. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @npub1qu5…qel2 We had perfection, and then in our hubris we thought we could improve upon IRC. Every day we see how wrong we were. npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @npub1rv4…ft5j "Master, there's an Etheric Crocodile Dentist listing on GregsList. Shall I telegraph her?" (the picture wasn't there when i started writing this. The thought still makes me laugh) npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @npub1grx…uxfe As a white dude, I'm also not thrilled with it. But I think there's some value in an explicit "this is your responsibility too, and we expect you to step up". npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander @npub1t8u…c7sk Real interested to see what's coming, really don't love defaulting to a Google Calendar link. (I have a PERFECTLY RATIONAL GRUDGE against Google specifically) npub1f6xgme8se9grerkyf2n4lpj6qafktq7gm4ka4qzlvxcwprjr36kq5tn2vy Cassander Just because you can exercise management power over something doesn't mean you should.
